The International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (“Harmonized System (or “HS”) Convention”) established the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (“Harmonized System” or “HS”), an international nomenclature system. Article 6 of the HS Convention establishes a Harmonized System Committee (“HSC”), composed of representa- tives from each of the contracting parties to the HS Convention. The HSC’s re- sponsibilities include issuing classification decisions on the interpretation of the Harmonized System. Those decisions may take the form of published tariff clas- sification opinions concerning the classification of an article under the HS or amendments to the Explanatory Notes to the HS. The HSC also considers amendments to the legal text of the Harmonized System. The HSC meets twice a year in Brussels, Belgium. The next session of the HSC will be the sixty-second and it will be held from September 17, 2018 to September 28, 2018.

    DELIVERY OF INSTRUCTION California Baptist University expects to deliver instruction to its students through its traditional in-person and online formats. By attending the University, students acknowledge this expectation and understand that the University may be compelled to modify course instruction formats due to circumstances or events beyond the University’s reasonable control such as acts of God, acts of government, war, disease, social unrest, and accidents. As such, students attending the University assume the risk that circumstances may arise that mandate the closure of the campus or place restrictions upon the University’s delivery of instruction. By attending the University, each student understands and agrees that they will not be entitled to a refund or price adjustment for the cost of course instruction if their courses are required to be provided in a modified format which the University deems appropriate under such circumstances. 2021-2022 Student Handbook i California Baptist University | 09.24.21 TABLE OF CONTENTS Delivery of Instruction .................................................................................................................................................................................... i Personnel Directory ....................................................................................................................................................................................... ix Administration ..................................................................................................................................................................................................

The first stage in writing this thesis was the research proposal. After the research proposal was approved, I started my research into the obstacles and opportunities for Dutch companies in the Polish bioenergy sector. As I am currently doing an internship at The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Warsaw, the embassy came with the question of whether there were any opportunities for Dutch companies in the (rural) Polish bioenergy sector.

    Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) for SME Financing │ 2 Please cite this publication as: OECD (2019), Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) for SME Financing, www.oecd.org/finance/initial-coin-offerings-for-sme-financing.htm This work is published under the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD.

This document and any map included herein are without prejudice to the status of or sovereignty over any territory, to the delimitation of international frontiers and boundaries and to the name of any territory, city or area. © OECD 2019 │ 3 Foreword Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) like blockchain are a relatively recent arrival in the world of finance, but are already driving new forms of financial innovation, new breeds of financial products, and creating new processes and platforms. Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are one of the most prominent applications of blockchain for finance, allowing for an innovative and inclusive way of financing for small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). Over the past two years the use of ICOs has gone from ‘too small to care’ to ‘too big to ignore’ for markets and regulators alike. Much of the discourse around ICOs to date has focused on the uncertainty of the applicable regulatory framework for ICOs and crypto-asset markets. This report takes the analysis further, discussing “tokenomics” and limitations in ICO structuring which can give rise to conflicts of interest and expose investors to significant risks. It analyses issues around valuation, accounting and allocation of value, as well as trading of tokens.
